Sharepoint glow
Interesting. The most negative review of Sharepoint I found in a brief survey was this:
https://www.itcentralstation.com/product_reviews/sharepoint-review-31821-by-sam-montoya-csm
two stars out of five, although this snippet seems pretty damning for a business product:
"When installing the R2 update, it did end up creating issues with the .NET code and eliminated some of the extensions. For example, the Excel extension that is used to view Excel spreadsheets within SharePoint was either damaged or deleted. This has caused issues with exporting to and from SharePoint and hasn't been corrected."
But if one didn't read TheReg and relied say on Wikipedia, one might come away with a much more glowing impression.
Personally, I don't mind Windows, but I turn off everything I possibly can, from scripting to indexing. I even paid money for software that would remove IE from Win2K, not sure that's an option any more. The whole relation between MS-OS and MS-add-on-software is invidious, and should have been Anti-Trusted long ago, for everybody's benefit (except perhaps MS's).
